Abstract

Using the results of an analysis of experimental data, carried out using the features of mechanisms for perceiving visual stimuli and the appearance of a false alarm when stimuli are being discriminated, it is shown that the false-alarm probability decreases as the probability of discriminating a stimulus increases and is connected with it by a linear dependence, while the operational threshold of the false-alarm probability corresponds to the information matching of the perception of an image of visual stimuli and determines the reliability index of discriminating them. © 2004 Optical Society of America
